Chairman of the South-West Governors’ Forum and Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu on Wednesday with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja to brief him on the spate of insecurity in the state.
A statement by the information and Orientation commissioner Donald Ojogo in Akure said that ” the governor seized the opportunity of the meeting to brief the President as the regards the precarious security situation in the region, especially Ondo state.
“The Governor met with the President at a meeting; and it centered on the issue of security concerns in the Southwest, especially in Ondo state.
“It was a huge opportunity for the governor to put the records straight as regards the erroneous impression that Governor Akeredolu had asked all Fulani and herdsmen to vacate the state.
“The meeting afforded both leaders a great window to explore ingenious methods to tackle the issue of insecurity in the region.
“In particular, Governor Akeredolu sought and indeed, obtained the president’s support and encouragement to flush out criminals in the forests of Ondo State.
“It was a needful meeting and more of such are very likely in the days ahead as the unanimity of purpose against crime gets the desired attention”.
